437 Boogeyman (3)

Angela was baffled. What was Evan talking about?

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Evan's smile stretched wider—he was happy to explain it to her. "You see…his family, along with the others, agreed to a treaty with the Parks. They marked their territories and the Parks' conditions were that the Italians' illegal businesses were unwelcomed in Esmea, and…its people were off-limits. Meaning…they can't lift a finger at us. It doesn't matter the context or reason. If they inflict any harm while here, that will be considered as them breaking the agreement. The Parks will mark them as enemies and use their connections to end their bloodline."

Angela looked at Gael who returned her stare wordlessly. She didn't know how Evan knew all of this. It still surprised her that he knew who Gael was. And Gael also didn't tell her about that agreement Evan talked about, though perhaps if she asked, he would've probably told her.
